movie review: speed racer


Speed Racer
Starring: Emile Hirsch, John Goodman, Christina Ricci
Genre: Action/Sport/Family/Futuristic
Rating: PG
Age Level: family friendly
I give this movie six out of ten stars


Young Speed Racer has entered the world of stunt racing. It seems to run in his family. After losing his brother to a terrible crash, Speed picks up where Rex left off. After a bad experience with a big racing company, Speed teams up with some other racers to exploit some of the unethical things that have been going on behind the racing scene.

There are parts where its almost dizzying to watch because so much is happening. Its a futuristic family type movie so there are cheesy parts but it was a cute movie all in all and involved some pretty sweet Japanese dudes who looked like they walked out of an anime movie... But parts were rather predictable. Then again, it is a family movie sooo it has to appeal to the little kids too.
